Detailed analysis of whole-rock geochemistry, clay minerals, sedimentary color, and pollen in the Dahonggou section, northeast of the Qaidam Basin, are investigated, and the results suggest an intense weathering in the source area during the middle Eocene (∼48.5–40.5 Ma), indicating a warm and humid...
